Upon review of student applications and conversations with students, students were discouraged to identify a certificate as their goal because once they achieved their goal, their financial aid was affected negatively. They misinterpreted this as discouraging applying for the certificate within the bigger goal of an AS or AS-T. We are seeing an increase in AS and AS-T as our field is requiring higher levels of education for all newly- hired caregivers. Many of these students will go on to complete bachelor degrees to compete for the many positions in the community that require bachelor degrees.
